This article contributes to new pathways towards the socio-cultural significance of Africa – South Asia dynamics, by focusing on Siddi ‘love’ (when two people choose their own partner) and ‘arranged’ marriages (when family members select one’s life partner with their attendant bride price/dowry obligations).
